Let’s not forget that before Trump said anything, a bunch of other Republican Presidential candidates said the SAME thing (but in different words) when they said the US should only be admitting Christians.
Trump’s greatest quality is he eschews the dog whistles and cuts to the chase of what the Republicans actually stand for.
I believe Ryan’s lieing. All Republicans believe what (T)rump’s saying, they just want it behind closed doors.
“What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for and more
importantly it’s not what this country stands for," Ryan said.
He’s right; the Republican Party stands for much more than that.
They believe in using the power of government to pass legislation that will:
Harm gays.
Harm the working class.
Harm teachers.
Harm members of the military.
Harm minorities.
Harm senior citizens.
Harm union members.
Harm people who are sick.
Harm children.
Harm women.
And, of course, harm Muslims.
Teddy is VERY carefully drafting Donald’s lead car in this race. The only question is how he will move to the lead and win. Will it be when Donald crashes, or will Teddy be able to slingshot past him? GOP leadership is most likely to get behind the latter strategy…
Multi-car pile-ups are messy, and often fatal.
How are Trump’s words not being supported by the GOP when the GOP, led by Ryan, voted to stop the refugee program for Syrian victims of ISIS? Ryan is a hypocrite and is just as anti-Muslim as Trump, right along with his GOP majority in Congress. But once again, the GOP is all about lying to the public and getting away with it, since no decent media reporter will question this level of hypocrisy. The tacit message from the Congressional GOP: stop refugees because of their religion and their nation of origin; let Trump start talking internment camps or databases until public is used to the idea; and never let on that you secretly agree with these things and will act accordingly once elected, Constitution be damned and Democracy is a not our way.
Paul Ryan, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Dick Cheney, GW Bush - all one and the same monster - just different packaging. Make no mistake, this is no longer the party of Eisenhower or Lincoln, this is the party of crazy, anit-American fascists and theocrats fed money from corporate puppetmasters/religious fanatical leaders, and power through the ignorance of the voting public fed lies as truths by the likes of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Wolf Blitzer, and the rest of the jokers who call themselves journalists these days. The GOP ancestors like Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower would never be elected by today’s GOP, instead they would be attacked and vilified. This party does not represent Americans, American ideals, or American standards of humanity. This is the party of monsters - and we, the American people, created them, nurtured them, elected them, and now we cannot control them. And God help us all if any of them ever gets the White House while their party controls the other two parts of government, because it will be the end of this nation, and very possibly the world will see to it.
Ryan stated today that he would support Donald Trump if nominated. Anything said before or after this statement is garbage.
As a gay I have to say f you, the GOP has been after us for the last 30 years.
After the Speaker’s ISIL-comforting tweet Sunday night, who gives a shit, to quote FOX, what he has to say…
Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s sure as hell what your base stands for. And then some.
It sounds like he’s saying that just because someone who calls himself Republican has extremist views, it doesn’t mean that real Republican philosophy supports his extremism. … Wait, what group are we talking about?
EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSE MMEEEEEEEEEE??? that’s not what your party stands for??? my ass it doesn’t …your party stands for all the negative shit that goes down in this country hate ignorance bigotry religious intolerance …division FEAR…thatsexactly what your party stands for…oh and lets not forget …GREED!!!
yeah between his eddie munster wanna be ears
You shouldn’t. What this article is leaving out is that Ryan went on to say he would support Trump if he is the nominee. So he is basically saying he doesn’t think this is what his party is now, but hey, if the voters say that it is, he is totally down with it.
Ryan is and always has been, a spineless cretin with no sense of morality beyond what gets him elected.
Given that Trump has far more support than any other of your party’s candidates, seems he is pretty much the poster boy for exactly what you and your party stands for.
So GOP, you built that.
So, keeping Rowling’s Trump/Voldemort comparison, Ryan would be Nagini?
“Trump’s Muslim Immigration Ban ‘Not What This Party Stands For’”
Yes…it is. You built it.
The fact that there is a 50 percent chance that Trump is just plain trolling makes it even more enjoyable.
Yet in the same interview he said he will support the party’s nominee regardless.
WTF?
Anybody with a beard, according to The Donald, is suspect. Esp. if they wear a turban. Never mind if that person is a Sikh, or if that bearded person is a Hasidic Jew or just your average aging hippy like me.
Trump and his positions may not be what Ryan sees as what the Republican Party stands for, but how can he explain the numbers Trump is pulling from the Republican Party, because that support isn’t coming from anywhere else. Sorry Paul, but your party went down this path long ago and now you’ve arrived at this travesty.
